Each year hundreds of thousands of fans descend upon Las Vegas for the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) and with this year marking the festival’s 20th anniversary, there’s no question this weekend will be EDC’s most extravagant and surprising edition yet.

Produced by Insomniac, the yearly celebration of life, music, and individuality is just days away from opening its gates at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Fri., June 17. With plenty of tricks up their sleeves, Pasquale Rotella, EDC’s founder, and his team have revealed a few of the surprises fans can expect at this year’s festival.

From upgraded amenities and branded stages to new sustainability features and never-before-seen art, here’s a taste of what you can expect at this year’s EDC Las Vegas:
